Hair Cell (full Hair Regeneration)

[Xaser94]

HairCell is a startup in the Leonhardt Ventures’s Cal-X Stars 5 Year Business Accelerator and Leonhardt’s Launchpads NorCal @ University of Northern California Science & Technology Innovation Center focused on hair regeneration.

The HairCell technology platform is based on the Leonhardt et. al patent and patent pending portfolio of technologies for a regeneration micro stimulator that controls expressions of specific proteins on demand for specific regenerative purposes in sequence.

Heres there pending patent. Unfortunately. They are just applying for phase 1. But their procedure seems very interesting.

INVENTION TITLE

A method and apparatus for producing hair growth stimulation using bioelectric energy, topical compositions, stem cell/growth factor micro infusions and combinations thereof. By using bioelectric signaling resulting from specific protein expressions and their cellular responses to exposure to specific micro voltages.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Problem Solved: Many people lose hair as they age. Thin hair causes loss of self-esteem.

Other methods and devices at best increase hair coverage by 10%.

Our device controls release of SDF-1 a stem cell homing factor as well as IGF-1, HGF, EGF, Follistatin, Tropoelastin, eNOS and VEGF as well as micro infusion delivery of a 15 component hair regeneration cocktail which includes nutrient hydrogel, thus providing all the supporting element to grow a full head of hair.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As stated above, many people lose hair as they age. Thin hair causes loss of self-esteem. The invention claimed here solves this problem.

Our devices utilizes specific bioelectric signals to control release of 10 key hair regeneration proteins and for severe cases is combined with a stem cell/growth factor micro infusion pump to regenerate a full head of hair.

The claimed invention differs from what currently exists. No other product delivers a full complete combination of growth factors and stem cells necessary for complete and full hair regeneration.

This invention is an improvement on what currently exists. No other product delivers a full complete combination of growth factors and stem cells necessary for complete and full hair regeneration.

Prior art fails to address all the mechanisms necessary for complete hair regeneration. Most current treatments have nowhere near the volume of active agent necessary to regenerate a full head of thick hair.

Our device controls release of SDF-1 a stem cell homing factor as well as IGF-1, HGF, EGF, Follistatin, Tropoelastin, eNOS and VEGF as well as micro infusion delivery of a 15 component hair regeneration cocktail which includes nutrient hydrogel, thus providing all the supporting element to grow a full head of hair.

Also, it can produce Hair regeneration. Hair removal. Skin regeneration.

Relationship Between The Components:

Brain electroacupuncture cap (1) is placed on head of patient. (2) micro regeneration stimulator is connected to brain cap (1). Micro infusion pump (3) is connected to brain electroacupuncture cap. Micro stimulator runs through a program releases 10 specific proteins for specific purposes all of which work together for complete hair regeneration. In severe cases a micro pump is filled with the HC-15 fifteen component hair regeneration cocktail comprising three types of stem cells, growth factors, nutrient hydrogel, scalp matrix and Micro RNAS as well as known topical solutions for hair regeneration. 12. The method of claim 1 where said bioelectric signal produces eNOS – Alternating high-frequency (HF) and medium-frequency signals (MF) – Symmetric, biphasic, trapezoid pulses, with 400-µs pulse duration and 1.5/1-s ramp-up/ramp-down duration, respectively. HF consisted of 75 Hz pulses with 6 s on–21 s off for 15 minutes. MF consisted of 45 Hz pulses with 5 s on–12 s off for 15 minutes. Followed by stimulation duration set as 20 min for both 1 Hz and 20 Hz stimulations. For 1 Hz stimulation, stimulation was applied for 9 sec, followed by a 1 sec silent period, a total of 1080 stimulations for 20 min.

Heres there phase 1 trial design (includes high norwoods)

Alot of the proteins they seem to be stimulating I think are the same as Histogen's. Hopefully this is good news for us.

 

[Giiizmo]

There's no way I can take them seriously with such a laughable video. Also, the process sounds like just another Pilox.

Still, good find I guess. See you in 5 years for the cure!

 

[Roberto_72]

Unfortunately,

They are writing themselves that it has not proved to do anything yet.

 

[Joxy]

Just another fantasy world video...

Unfortunately, View attachment 41580 They are writing themselves that it has not proved to do anything yet.

That's should have been the first thing mentioned in this thread lol.

That's should have been the first thing mentioned in this thread lol.

I did lol, it was right after the video I said they are just starting Phase 1. So nothing has been technically proven yet. But this reminds me of the replicel video tbh. Not saying this is the cure or nothing. But interesting to follow none the less.

No one pic.
Not be proven.
This seems a simple electro estimulator.

Next...

And yet the logo for this new enterprise is a little bit amateurish isn't it?

Not the mention the video.
But hey, it was a nice catch. Whatever works.

 

[atthekeysbored]

marketing hype, also being a "serial entrepreneur" entering the highly specialized field of hair loss therapy does not fill me with confidence, come back when there are actual results.

Since ppl from the blogs referenced this thread Im going to continue to update it with info I can find.

Howard J. Leonhardt the Founder, Executive Chairman and CEO of HairCell and Dr. Jorge Genovese a collaborative researcher from Buenos Aires, Argentina are co-inventors of this product. Howard Leonhardt previously patented a series of stem cell delivery and electrical stimulation devices and signals for homing stem cells to targeted tissues starting in 1995. Dr. Genovese has been conducting electrical stimulation based regeneration research for over twenty years with numerous published peer reviewed papers.

"We believe the HairCell bioelectric stimulator with 10 unique controlled on demand protein expression signals combined with our HC-15 proprietary 15 component hair regeneration composition delivered via our patented micro infusion pump is destined to out perform all other technologies tried to date for hair regeneration. We are set to implement now well designed controlled clinical trials to prove out this claim. " stated Derek Kahn, HairCell President and lead investor.

"Numerous published papers, including a number from our own labs, have documented the powerful ability of our stimulated proteins and delivered cell based composition components to promote tissue regeneration. Until now there was not a practical, safe and cost effective method of controlled delivery of all these beneficial proteins applied to hair regeneration in one combined system. Our technology is the first with refined bioelectric signals that communicate with the DNA of cells to program them to release specific regeneration promotion proteins on demand." Stated Dr. Jorge Genovese Co-Inventor
